Growing up in socialist Hungary, and being a young adult in 1989 at the time of system change, I am very much used to the russian way of propaganda. Btw love the term disinfolklore 💙 as a name for it . For an informed person, that kind of propaganda was and is insulting, with it's primitive manupulation. The same methods they used back then to promote "socialism", "peace", "internationalism" (meaning wars and interventions). I hated it back then and after Putin was nominated in 1999, I immediately started to hear the same kind of rhetoric. Well - he is a KGB man through and through so it was clear what will happen to the russian society .

Hungary wasn't socialist, it was an authoritarian, surveillance state. The Soviet system was basically a feudal system with a monarch/leader who had an aristocracy of thugs and apparatchiks who maintained control of a very poor society whilst living comfortably themselves. Orwellian pigs. Calling yourself "socialist" doesn't make you a socialist. There has never been an actual socialist or communist society.

The historian told the interviewer how he had been hired by Putins Govt. to rewrite Russian School history books. I remember it because of just how ashamed of what he had done he seemed; he was full of remorse, even while he was explaining how he'd done it. It was probably Panorama, World in Action or Newsnight?? I can't be sure but, who best to contact to find it? Thanks.

"A Speech About Listening (Or Not Listening, Very Sad, Very Sad)" Folks, let me tell you something, okay? And this is something, believe me, nobody is talking about it, but they should be. You know, people used to love listening to me. They loved it. Tremendous crowds. They said, “Sir, we could listen to you forever!” They did, they said that. And you know what? They were smart people. Very smart people. Some of the smartest people. Probably the smartest people you've ever met. Maybe in history. Tremendous IQs. Bigly IQs. But now-now, folks, I'm hearing, and this is really sad, folks, really, really sad-I’m hearing people can’t even bear to listen to me. Can you believe it? They say things like, "Oh, when Trump talks, my brain gets all melty-melted," or "Sir, I don’t understand anything you’re saying anymore." These are the losers saying this. The haters. They’re weak. They don’t have strong minds like we do, folks. You’ve got strong minds, believe me. The best minds. Tremendous minds. And it’s not me, folks, it’s them. They can’t handle it. It’s the American IQs. They’re going down. Plummeting. Boom! Like a rock, okay? I’m talking rocket-speed, folks. You know the rockets? The ones I made great again? The ones Elon loves? Like that, but down. Sad! And it’s because they stopped listening to me. They said, "Sir, your words, they’re so powerful, so incredible, they make our brains work too hard. Too many words. Big words. Hard words." And I said, "What are you talking about? I use the best words. The most beautiful words." But they couldn’t handle it. And now, folks-get this-they’re saying, "Trump talks, and my brain goes bzzzzzt," like a broken radio. You know the sound, right? It’s like, bzzzzzt, bzz-bzz. I don’t know. Maybe it’s the 5G. Is it the 5G? They say it’s safe. I don’t know. I hear things. I hear things, folks. But you know what I think? It’s jealousy. Jealousy, folks. They’re jealous because I talk so good. I talk better than anyone, frankly. Better than the scientists. Better than Einstein. People are saying it. But let me tell you-let me tell you something else. This whole thing about IQs going down? It’s not my fault. No way. I make people smarter! When I talk, your brain gets exercise, folks. It’s like, uh, CrossFit for your brain. The best CrossFit. Tremendous. But these people, the haters, they’re too lazy to do the mental push-ups. Too lazy, folks. And they’re scared! Scared of being smart. Scared of being great again. That’s why they say, “Don’t listen to Trump.” Because they can’t handle greatness. My greatness. But you’re here, you’re smart, you’re strong. Your brains are doing the push-ups right now. Tremendous push-ups. I’m proud of you. You’re making America smart again just by listening to this. So don’t stop, okay? Don’t stop. Keep listening. Keep winning. And don’t let the weaklings, the haters, the sleepy Joes of the world tell you otherwise. Because we’re making brains great again. Tremendous brains. Beautiful brains. The best brains. Thank you, folks. Tremendous.
